describe
Sorry for my English, I hope you can understand what I write here :)
I made this version a long time ago when I first tried playing Skyrim as a pure archer. I found an experience that I liked, but the vanilla bows...well, they seemed too bland to me. So I decided to make something prettier. Something more magical, colorful and animated. So these ten fancy bows were created based on the vanilla bunch bow.
This mod may look outdated now, with all the bows, crossbows and charming effects being copied, but I decided to give it a small facelift and uploaded it to . Maybe someone will find it useful.

Details
All bows have the same damage as vanilla bows, but are usually faster. The slowest bows (acid and blood bows) have a speed of 0.75, which is equivalent to the vanilla keel bow.
All bows can be charmed.
If you have the appropriate perks, you can forge at the forge:
Ember Bow --- Steel Smithing
Fire Bow-------Dwarf Smith or Elf Smith
Lava Bow------Dwarf Smith or Elf Smith
Ice Bow----Orc Smith or Advanced Armor
Winter Bow----Orc Smith or Advanced Armor
Jade Bow - Ebony Smith or Glass Smith
Ruby Bow------Ebony Smith or Glass Smith

You can also craft "larger" versions of every bow (except the acid and blood bows). You need Dragon Armor to do this. The larger bow's statistics are equal to the vanilla keel bow.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
